„Arogya Online‟ is designed to provide the highest level of flexibility and operational efficiency for a

hospital. The system performs complex tasks like investigation billing, bed management, admission

discharge and transfer procedures, pharmacy management and various other related activities.

B. Implementation of Arogya Online at SMS Hospital:. The software for the system has been

developed by CDAC and customized for SMSH, Jaipur over the past two years. Hardware, Software

Central Lab, OPD, IPD, OT‟s, Drug Store and Blood Bank as well as the treatment modalities

offered by more than 44 clinical & non-clinical departments, 70+ wards with 2500+ beds. The

system also manages an avg. of 6500-7000 no. OPD patients on daily basis and approx. 15000

daily investigations with errorless reporting mechanism. The system also handles all the cash flow

(i.e. cash collected at all the counters) across the hospital.
